Five weeks instead of six??

Wait until the regional dates come out. That will be a good thing to judge if there will be a change to the build season length. I would not foresee any change to the build length.

I predict these are the most accurate posts here.

And I'll add, that if anything were to shift, I predict the break between the end of build & start of regional events would be shortened to fit the "ideal" situation you speak of with the start of build being "pushed back" in 2010.

Somehow, I don't think that we're only going to have a five week build season next year. Like Elgin said, the timing for the rest of the season will most likely be adapted to fit with the slightly later Kickoff. And if it is shorter for some reason... that's just one more challenge everyone will adapt to!
